Dead Kennedy’s Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables and The Cramps Stay Sick were the albums that changed my life. I was 14 growing up in the midwest. I always felt like a stranger living in a strange land, a bit of an outcast. My mom moved us from the suburbs to the city and enrolled me in art school. I found my tribe, with like minded people. We listened to music that resonated anti-establishment, subversive culture, nonconformity and individual freedom. And now 20 some odd years down the line I opened Tomahawk and hired a kick ass staff of like minded ladies. Our canvas is hair and everyday we are thankful that we get to do what we love and be apart of our client’s personal story. In the words of The Exploited “We’re all punks and we don’t care, We’re boot boys that dye our hair…Punks not dead, I know it’s not!”

Natalia called this “funerary “shades over an all over double process. The effect is smokin’ hot! @mother-night

Donna Rae did an all over balayage/ombre using an emerald creative color and single process black root for this melted effect. She also chopped into the hair giving our client “chainsaw” bangs ,there are no straight lines in this cut!

Ahhh Spring is here. The scent of rain and grass is in the air. I am finding inspiration in the pretty, pretty dusty colors of Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette. I want to be in a whirlwind of pink, lavender, amethyst and buttery blonde. Shall we twirl into summer…

Maria Lina did an all over #doubleprocess to create this muted pink and violet color.

Kristin Jackson did a full head #balayage to create this multidimensional lavender.This hand painted technique is less maintenance than a double process.

Cut and Color by Donna Rae full head #Balayage. Soft and pale this color will grow out beautiful and natural with a less obvious regrowth line.

Both balayage and double process require the hair to be bleached and toned either with a glaze or creative color. Price range is $175-320. Our pricing is determined on several factors including time, effort and amount of product used. We recommend booking a hair consult it’s free and helps us get on the same page as our clients.

This past year we have lost several of our idols. Thank you for making our world a brighter, sexier, rockin’ place; to be the weirdos that we are!

Hello lovelies! Here’s what we crazy ladies been up to. Lots of fun cuts, crazy colors and tape in hair extensions. Check out some of our work down below. Gotta love our new pro softbox light, smile on!

Kristin Jackson mixed 2 types of pink, a rose and a neon for this allover rocking effect. Cut and color by Kristin #doubleprocess #balayage

Donna Rae custom mixed 3 different pinks and purples to come up with this candy confection #doubleprocess. Cut and Color by Donna Rae

Kristin does a single process root with Redken’s double copper and touches up the #ombre with a custom mixed pink. This is a great way to have colorful hair without always having to bleach!

Our new stylist Natalia did a Full Head #Balayage with a bit of pink at the tips.

Dapper as hell men’s haircut by Maria Lina!

Our Junior Stylist is now doing color at a discounted price! Maria did a single process black with a mystic blue #panel in the front. Panels are a great way to add a pop of color that is pretty low maintenance;)

Below is a photo of our lovely client rocking 26 inch tape in extensions. Kristin has been loving these! Installing the tape in hair extensions is quicker vs the fusion. They last about 1-2 months but here’s the kicker, if you treat them well they can be reused! Just keep the hair and new tape can be added to them. To book an appointment you must do a consult. At that time Kristin will match your hair to the extension and figure out the length you would like. The hair must be ordered and payed for to Kristin. It usually takes about a week for the hair to be shipped. Price is $100 an hour and usually take 1-2 hours.

Not me I prefer to melt away like crayons on a radiator, let’s sizzle…

Cut and Color By Donna Rae

Color melt is an awesome way to update creative color. This is achieved through an already existing creative color. We use the old color at the ends and melt a new, vibrant color at the roots. So much fun without all the damage of a full double process.
